I understand.

I have added such version of the font into

http://test.csswg.org/source/css-writing-modes-3/support/adobe-fonts/

and inserted "-v1.005" into its filename ... that is a 
temporary+transitory step until we (people using your valuable font and 
test.csswg.org maintainers) decide if we need to establish some kind of  
protocols to make sure we are using the latest and most recent version 
of that font file. Maybe just checking once in a while and 
replacing/overwriting for updating when needed would be sufficient...?

I have opened a bug report over at bugzilla.mozilla.org on this:

Bug 1209752 - Recognition, handling of filename.otf

!error: it should have been saying 37.2, not 33.2
